JUGGLING FIGURES.
fCommunicated.)

To-day's Registe,' has letter by
Col. Byrne of Charleston, Camden's
near kinsman, endeayoring by jug
Cling figures to discredit the state
ment "that in spite of the pretended
influx of capital to build Camden's
railroad, the value Of property in
this State according to the Auditor,
decreased $S,000,000 between 1885
and 1886 and 100000 between
1884 and 1885," We have only
time for single word. Col. Byrne
compares the value in 1864 with the
value in 1886 and thereby creates
false impression. Nobody knows
better than he that in 1864 the war
had just ended and the then assess
ment was ridiculous farce. Again.
He adds in, the railroad property,
which was tri6ing until within the
last few years. 1t was trhing be-
cause the Davis Camden Ring ex
Guided from Office such men as had
the nerve to value railroad property
as high as other property. If Col.
Byrnc desired fair discussion he
would have printed his letter in the
DEMOCRAT so the same persons could
read both sides.
But Col. Byrne's first letter under
took to bolster up Davis statement
that building Camden's railroad
from Wheeling to Mason county
brought 100000 into the State.
Where did this money go? The
value of property decreased S19l, 900
in Mason between 1885 and 1885; it
decreased $141, 900 between 1883
and 1884; the decrease in Wetzel
was $4,000. Either Camden's three
millions is farce, which we believe
is true, or else the money did not be-
come visible in counties through
which his road runs. Here is a nut
for Col. Byrne 10 crack. 1t only re-
quires little examination to expose
the pretenscs invented to bolster mp
Camden.

CHARLESTON, April 20, p. NJ
Camden came along with the mem
bers. He is confident Of getting
enough Republicans to elect him;
he still retains the men he had at
the adjournment. The II" are as
firm as a rock, and, say what they
will, the Camdenites see and feel
that the II are far more respected,
admired and trusted by the people
than the 3S who propose to coalesce
with the Republicans or do anything
else to effect his election. At least
two of his followers have openly de-
clared that they will not vote for
any one else, and while others are
too prudent to speak publicly this
is evidently the feeling that Camden
has managed to establish. The con
trast between the quiet, dignified
department of the Twelve" and
the conduct of the more prominent
of Camden's supporters is very great

A CAMDEN ORGAN ANSWERED.

The charges against Mr.. Camden
have not been proven and he is
stronger now than before.-Camdea
Organ.
Let us inquire the charges and
examine the proof
/. It's charged that he bribed State
Treasurer Burdett to keep the taxes
in the Parkersburg bank, of which
Mr.. Camden was president.
Is this charge proven? Mr.. Cam
den admitted it. The testimony is
printed in the impeachment trial of
Burdett. The book is in the public
library at Charleston and copies of
it are in every village in the State.
Here is the draft.
CHARLESTON, July II, 1873.
At sight, pay to order of self $40
RENT DUE ON FARM and charge same
to occount of
w. II. BURDETT.
To Hon. J. n. Camden, Parkersburg.
The occult meaning of the cabal-
istic words RENT DUE ON FRAN was
this: That Camden had bribed Bur
dett to rent him the accumulated
taxes like one rents farm. The
Senate of this State by a vote Of 10
to 4 declared that this transaction
was conclusive evidence that Bur
dett was unfit to hold any public
office, and he was ANONYMOUSLY ex-
PEELED from the place to which he
had been elected. This judgment
was universally approved through
out the State. Burdett remains in
obscuritv and disgrace; human in
genuity cannot distinguish between
the guilt of the br;be-taker and
bride giver; we must condemn both
=
or neither.
There are in the present Legisla-
ture but three men who were mem
bers of the Legislature in 1875, to-
wit: Reynolds, OF Mercer; Gettin-
ger, and Snider. We understand
why Reynolds supports Camden be-
cause, among other reasons, be voted
against Burdett's impeachment
(See House Journal for 1875, page
1891. But we do not understand
how Gettinger and Snider can con-
sistently do so. They voted to
impeach Burdett and were con-
spicuous against him. 1t is true
that Mr.. Camden was at that very
time a candidate for the Senate, but
no one suspected his connection
with the Burdett bribery. 1t had
been kept as secret as the grave nn-

THE KID PLAN.
Communicated

1t was the kid" Democracy of
Ohio that repudiated Thurman and
Pendleton and men of that ilk, as
''moss backs" and rejoiced in a
name which marked the introduce
ton of new methods of professedly
Younger men. Under their potent
influence the Standard Oil Company
rolled it's representative into the
Senate and the ''Kids" triumphed.
As the Standard is now urging
West Virginia to elect another of
its favorites to q seat beside Mr..
Payne, the Kid plan of using
money here strongly resembles the
means employed in Ohio, but Mr..
Camden's friends rather applaud
his guileless innocence in sending
money to a candidate for the Legis-
lature "for campaign purposes
We would like to ask Senator Lu-
cas-, Col. Chew and Hon. Jno. j. Da-
Wis whether Mr.. Camden ever sent
either of them money when they
were candidates?
If these gentlemen shall say that
Mr.. Camden sent them money to
help them on their way to Legis-
lature before which he proposed to
be candidate for the Senate, we
would like to know if they are aware
that in the BRIBERY Investigations in
New York the evidence showed that
when members were bought the
bride was generally accompanied
with the statement that the money
was intended "to cover campaign
expenses
Mr.. Camden is entirely too I'M
worldly and unsuspecting for the
Senate! To think that he should fall
into the misfortune of doing just
what corrupt men have done!
No, Mr.. Editor, some Of us old
fellows cannot approve of the add"
methods, whether the kid" be the
giver, as in Ohio, or the taker, as in
West Virginia; and, we think that,
whether the temptation to Mr. Cam
den lies in the business opportuni-
ties, or in the chance to show his
craftsmanship, (?) we had better
keep the old-fashioned notions and
steer clear of innovations that are
not improvements.
By-the-bye, this thing is costing
Mr.. Camden considerable of his
only stock in the trade of statesman.
ship, and what some of us want to
know is, where would he get it back
if he should return to the Senate?

and schemes to plumber them. We
do not expect Mr.. Camden to re-
tire;-the opportunities for making
money are too great. The wealth
of the Standard Oil Company,
placed by Mr.. Hudson in the last
North American Reuie,c at $780,
100000 accumulated in fifteen
years. has need for Mr.. Camden in
the Senate. Against the influence
of this vast sum of money there
stand only a few bold and deter
mined men fighting the battle of the
unorganized masses.

On yesterday bill was introduced
in the House to apply the Inter
state Commerce bill to our local
traffic. We will give full account
Of it in our next issue. A bill was
also introduced in the Senate to pre-

The Baltimore Sun has dispatch
that the Twelve" are ready to
compromise on any man except Cam

ballot, then, in our judgment Chew's
proposition is the only one that can
bring about harmony:-Let the 38

THE CAPITAL CLASS NEED HIM.

We are not of those who expect
Mr.. Camden to retire. He has be-
hind him, and supporting him, pre-
ciselv the influences that elected
PAYNE, of Ohio, Stanford, of Califor-
MIA. and the other millionaires of
the Senate. There has grown up
within the last twenty years, in this
country, a privileged class composed
of a few enormously wealthy indi-
viduals. They have become thus
wealthy by means of legislation in
tended to facilitate and promote the
rapid transfer of property from the
unorganized masses into the hands
Of organized capitalists, banded to-
gether to accomplish, by means of
legislation, that which could not be
attended by legitimate enterprise.
There is universal popular demand
that the powers of government shall
no longer be used to build up a cap
ital class and to break down the in
dividuSl enterprises of men of limi-
ted means. During the next six
years it will be decided whether the
Government shall be welded in the
interests of the Jay Gould class or
in the interests of the other class
and this other class comprises 90
per cent. of the population. In a
word, the issue is, whether the Gov
eminent shall be used to strengthen
those combinations, against the
body of society, that are being
formed every day. This issue will
be determined within the next six
years, and hence the extraordinary
and unprecedented exertions put
forward to retain Mr.. Camden in the
Senate. His associations, his inter
ests and his business training single
him out as the very ally who can be
of the greatest use to the Jay Gould
class. The struggle at Charleston
is not contest between rival poll
ticians; it is struggle between the
rights of the unorganized masses

benefit of the three propositions ap-
piled to business which crosses a
State line, and We pointed out that
this might be accomplished simply
by declaring that the law of Con-
gress should be applied to traffic
which is wholly within the State.
Since our last issue, however, this
whole subject has been thoroughly
Investigated and considered 10y sew
eral of the ablest men in the State
who concluded, that it would be
much safer and wiser not to make
any changes in the law of Congress
except those necessary to apply its
provisions to our domestic business.
The State law should conform itself
to, and be identical With, the policy
pursued by Congress and it is, there
fore. proposed to follow the language
of the Interstate Commerce Bill
word for word except where changes
are necessary. These changes are
two:
l. The Federal law applies to all
common carriers whether steam
boats, railroads or canals. Inasmuch
as progress in West Virginia is par
allied by the unlawful practices of
railroad officials and not by other
common carriers, the State law will
be applicable to railroads only. 1t
will not affect steamboats,.
,. The law of Congress will be
modified so far only as may be nee
essary to confne the operation of the
State law to traffic which is wholly
within West Virginia.
1t is inconce ivable that PROPOSE
tions applied to freight between
Richmond, Va, and Huntington,
should not be applied to freight
between,Greenbrier and Charleston;
it is inconceivable that propositions
applied to freight between Baltimore
Md, and Wheeling, should not be
applied to freight between Fairmont
and Wheeling. Persons who do not
deal directly with the railroads in
West Virginia can scarcely compre-
bend the infinite benefit that will be
done to the general public in this
State by enforcing the principles of
the Inter State Commerce bill. The
circumstance that the measure is
opposed by the railroad lobby and
by persons receiving secret favors
from railroad officials, is the strong
est argument for its passage. If
this law would not benefit the pub
lie the railroads would not oppose
it. If the managers of these corpo-
rations were not guilty of unlawful
practices they would not try to de
feat this measure. The circum-
s;ance that they are against it is
conclusive evidence that they prac-
tice unlawful methods which, while
profitable to themselves and to their
secret partners, paralize individual
enterprise in this State and prevent
progress. The Importance of this
matter is sure to be understood be-
fore the nominations in 1888. We
cannot believe that candidates for
popular favor will fail to observe
the signs of the times. We cannot
believe they will fail to use the Op-
portunity now offered.
